Walking Tour
Pointe du Hoc
"the most impressive site" (Destination WWII)
Craters still visible from Allied shelling
Plan at least an hour for the loop
Imagine scaling a 100-foot cliff while Germans fired down from above. That's exactly what US Army Rangers did on D-Day, grappling hooks and rope ladders in hand. Today you can wander bomb craters, peer into German bunkers, and feel the sheer audacity of it all.
